(NASA) – This composite made from ten images shows the progression of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse above the Vehicle Assembly Building, on Nov. 8, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Visible trailing the Moon in this composite is Mars.

For North America, the partial eclipse began at 4:09 a.m. EST, with the totality beginning at 5:16 a.m. One feature of a total lunar eclipse is the Moon’s red hue during totality.

The red color occurs because of the refraction, filtering, and scattering of light by Earth’s atmosphere.
